Swine flu H1N1 vaccine gets to metro Detroit
Detroit Medical Center has ordered about 35,000 doses of H1N1, but only has 100 or so for pregnant women, said Dr. Michelle Schreiber, chief quality officer. Henry Ford Health System spokesman David Olejarz said their H1N1 vaccine schedule was not available.
The vaccinations are intended for high-risk groups: pregnant women, those ages 6 months to 24, those living with babies 6 months or younger, adults ages 25 to 64 with conditions like asthma, health care workers and first-responders.
Those 10 and older are to get one dose, said Mary Mazur, Wayne County Department of Public Health spokeswoman, and children 6 months to 9 years are to get two doses, spaced one month apart.
